KUCHING, December 2nd – The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will announce its entire slate of candidates for the 12th state election tomorrow (December 3rd), a day earlier from its intended date.
GPS Chairman, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg will be presenting the appointment letters to the candidates at PBB headquarters along Jalan Bako in Kuching, around 3:30 PM tomorrow.
Earlier, Abang Johari had initially announced that the candidates for GPS will be announced on Saturday December 4th before it was changed to December 3rd.
